Day 2 – Road Trip – Anchorage to Seward

Tuesday 9 July

We woke up and enjoyed some coffee with Pam and Bruce while planning more of our trip and mapped out a more detailed plan for the next few days.

We went to Fred Meyer supermarket to get some food supplies for our trip. Tayla made chicken, salad, cheese and chip croissant sandwiches which we ate on the road as we drove south towards Seward. 

We drove from Anchorage to our first stop at the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Centre where we saw lots of different Alaskan animals, with our favourite still being the bear. We continued driving towards Seward where we stopped in at Exit Glacier. We did a hike around the area out to the glacier, where we had to cross several quick flowing streams. There was another part of the trail that was closed due to recent bear activity around the area. 

We arrived at Stoney Creek RV Park which was full, so we were glad we had booked earlier that day! We enjoyed a nice hot shower and cooked sausages and salad for dinner in the camper and enjoyed eating this on our picnic bench outside the camper. We tried to post some blog posts but the “high speed internet” was definitely not cooperating. After our big evening, we headed off to bed quite late for an early morning start :(
